Firstly, I’d like to say a HUGE thank you to the more than 1000 of you who have downloaded this display pack! I hope your classrooms look gorgeous! This is a complete 200+ page pack of a number of classroom displays that I have developed over the last couple of years to invigorate my department. Two updated booster packs have already been added. Original Display Pack: - Philosophers and Religious Figures Timeline (Over 40 thinkers with pictures, dates and outlines of their thinking). - Famous quote callouts to add along the timeline (one for almost every philosopher). Get students talking! - Custom-made colourful lettering for timeline eras. - Over 20 ethical and philosophical questions in colourful speech bubbles to inspire thinkers in your classroom (A great one for open-evenings or tutor time discussions!) - Steps/Levels display with optional number arrows. Department levels policy documents included. - ‘How to’ guides for all displays. Booster Pack 1: - Philosophical Language Literacy Display with sentence starters for knowledge/explanation and assessment/evaluation. - Agree --> Disagree continuum signposts to make human bar charts in your classroom! - Blooms thinking guidance for teachers with question prompts. Great for shrinking and sticking on desks or displaying at the back of the room. Booster Pack 2: - A raft of additional thinkers to give greater flexibility to the Philosopher Timeline across exam boards. - Quotes for every new thinker of course! I’ve also added another high-quality display pack covering Logical Fallacies and Cognitive Biases. Find it here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/logical-fallacies-and-cognitive-biases-display-pack-philosophy-psychology-11925635

LIST OF LESSONS IN THIS RESOURCE 45a What is conservatism and what is the principle of ‘change to conserve’? 45b Why has conservatism’s view of human nature led to it being described as a ‘philosophy of imperfection’? 45c What is the conservative view of society? 45d How have conservatives viewed the purpose of the state and the economy? 46a What were the origins of traditional conservatism? 46b How did conservatism change from the 1800s onwards? 46cd How did New Right conservatism challenge traditional conservative thinking? (2-hour lesson) 47a What are the tensions within conservatism? 47b How have the key thinkers within conservatism disagreed? 47c Knowledge test 10 47d Assessment Further to the 125 lessons I have created for the UK Politics components of the Edexcel A Level, I have also created 50 lessons for the Political Ideas element of the course (Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism, Feminism). These lessons, designed to be taught over ten to twelve weeks, include: LIST OF MATERIALS IN THE FULL 50 LESSONS ACROSS TOPIC BUNDLES Between 2 and 4 substantial homeworks set per week (answers also provided); 8 assessment opportunities (4 in class, 4 as homework – two per ideology); 4 substantial knowledge tests, each out of 100 marks. Further reading integrated (although you will need to purchase the relevant books yourself). The core textbook for students to use is Political Ideas for A-Level (the version that includes Feminism) by Neil McNaughton and Richard Kelly (Hodder Education). I recommend buying enough for all students. Frequently, activities will reference the Pearson textbook. If you wish to do these activities, this book is Edexcel GCSE Politics AS and A-Level Student Book and eBook - worth snapping up a copy of this also. I also make use in places of Political Ideologies: An Introduction (5th ed.) by Andrew Heywood, and for Feminism I also make use of The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing (edited by Hannah Dawson – easily found on Amazon) and All the Rebel Women by Kira Cochrane (available for £1.99 as an eBook on Google Books).

These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the key scholar Rousseau in the topic of Philosophy (Free will and political philosophy) and the Theological topics of Human Nature and Karl Marx/Liberation Theology. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility. I felt it was important to make these sheets as my students sometimes misunderstood the context of the philosophers or the chronology of the arguments (and responses). Therefore, these context sheets aim to tackle these misconceptions and re-examine the theory and/or philosopher within the context in which they should be viewed. A sample context sheet can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-level-anselm-and-ontological-argument-context-and-information-sheet-12316408 Additional topics and/or philosophers can be found in my Tes shop! Please give feedback! I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!

Edexcel ALevel Politics Component 3 USA Politics Comparative Topic 4 Supreme Court and Civil Rights This is my Introduction lesson to the Court and key terms e.g. Stare Decisis, Loose/ Strict Constructivism and Originalism. Includes a key profile of the current court for a research homework and how they ruled on key cases e.g. Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Board of Health and New York state rifle assoc. v Bruen which cover key aspects of the divisive issues in the USA today e.g. abortion rights, gun control, voting rights, immigration and campaign finance. All the SCOTUS cases I cover are useful case studies for other topics due to the synoptic nature of the ALevel course, this helps students to join the dots. I have also made a key words/ case studies sheet for student files which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/usa-politics-check-lists-and-case-studies-all-topics-12857384 These case studies cover every topic but there is a whole page devoted to the most important SCOTUS cases and rulings by the court. Note: PNG files are for illustrative purposes only, files include word documents and powerpoints which are fully editable.

This is a controversial lesson and should make for some great discussion. It begins with a mini IQ test, followed by a discussion about how to define intelligence. Finally, an argument based on the science of embryonic screening is presented (screening for and discarding embryos with a low IQ prediction) and a very challenging and controversial conclusion is drawn (which I in no way endorse!) which students are asked to contend with, intellectually.

This is a KS3 lesson on utilitarianism, focusing on Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This could also be used for core KS4.

This powerpoint can be used as a basis for a lesson on Politics and Britain. It delves into the definitions and explanations of left and right wing. Then discusses the main political parties in Britain as well as explaining the voting system. Couple these with some youtube clips and activities and you've got yourself a comprehensive lesson, or even 2. All comments are welcome and if I have missed anything out please let me know. Enjoy :-)
